15 New Restaurant Openings in Sept 2017

Last month, 35 new restaurants opened. But in Sept 2017, only 15 new restaurants and bars are opened. However, the trend of Asian or Asian-inspired restaurants dominating continues. Here, only 2 out of 15 restaurants are non-Asian. It makes much sense to open Asian restaurants in Singapore because ingredients are fresher when imported from nearby countries than from the West. #AsianPride
